Scruit Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) So I just had some guy make a lane change into me on the freeway. If you were slowed down on the north side between 0845 and 0945 then sorry!He is being cited for unsafe lane change. His truck is wrecked - he lost control and hit the median when he PITted himself against my fender. My fender and bumper are toast, but otherwise my car is fine. http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/106293-accident-on-270-the-video/ Edited October 21, 2014 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh1234 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Holy cow!! I'm glad you're okay... what were you driving? Was it your rear fender or front fender that he hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Glad your OK. Pics of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo_2005 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I would assume front fender since he said the other driver pit maneuvered himself. Either way glad you are ok best of luck with getting your vehicle repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 He was cited for unsafe lane change. Didn't get a pic of his truck - the scene was very contentious so I stayed in my vehicle most of the time and let the cops do their thing.

Scruit Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Two witnesses stopped. One said the guy passed me on the right and then changed lanes into me, exactly what I said. The other witness told a tale about back and forth road rage that neither myself, the other witness or event he other driver agreed with, and even the cops were shaking their heads at.

Scruit Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 The crazy chick's story was so at odds with everyone else they didn't even list her as a witness. Oh well, I'd have liked to see what she had to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadTrainDriver Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Have you ever driven an H6 Legacy? It's smooth, unlike anything else out there. If I could sell my car, I'd buy a 2015 model tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Have you ever driven an H6 Legacy?It's smooth, unlike anything else out there.If I could sell my car, I'd buy a 2015 model tomorrow. Drove a H4 (I believe) with a CVT and it was weird. The relationship between engine revs and engine power was non-existent. I nearly called the rental place thinking the trans was slipping really bad. My wife has the H6 on a 2001 Outback. Very smooth, but less power than my H4 Turbo. But my turbo is VERY peaky. The difference in power output between 3k and 5k rpm is astonishing. I drove an '11 LGT H4 Turbo and found it to be nowhere near as peaky. (n fact, funny story, I had the owner and myself half convinced he'd been ripped off on a non-turbo until we realized they moved the turbo to the bottom of the engine for his model year - mine is at the top. His even has turbo markings on the engine cover pointing at no turbo) I could see the H6 3.6 being a really nice engine. But you know me.. I'd LOVE to see a 3.6 H6 with a turbo. They'd need to hand out kleenex with test drives, and not for wiping away tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm a huge fan of modern diesels, being from you-rupp and all. I have heard the Subaru diesel int he UK is considered even more bland than most. Having said that, people don't buy diesel for performance unless it's for towing. Certainly not for speed. I would do a Diesel Subaru, definitely. I'd miss the turbo, but the mileage would be epic. I get 21mpg right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Can't wait for mini diesels. Driving a loaner 2014/15 outback at the moment and I'm impressed with the quietness in the cab and like some of the center consol changes. The 4 sucks coming from a 6 though and the x-mode freaks out when I thrash it thru the hay fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 My next Subaru will be an H6, unless I can get a diesel.I don't agree with you very often, but we see eye to eye on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our rental car was a brand new 2010 BMW 320d. Six speed standard. I feel in love with that car! I flogged the shit out of it and still got over 40MPG.

BadTrainDriver Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Actually, now that I think about it, it was a 318d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've thought about a TDI, but hear the newish ones are not as good as the older ones. I don't have any personal experience with them though. I did recently read about a VW GTD. GTI, but with a hopped up diesel engine. Then I read not for the US. Typical.
